Beauty in my mailbox

What I am loving right now comes every month to my mailbox.  They are boxes of beauty products from beauty sampling programs.  Every month the variety packs of makeup, hair, nail, fragrance, and skin-care products change, definitely a surprise thats awesome.  The samples inside the boxes can be worth several times the price of each sample program, (they typically cost around $10-$15 a month).
So all it takes is a few minutes to fill out a profile so the samples you receive are tailored to your needs, then sit back and await your monthly haul!
Here are my favorite sample services:

Birchbox: Cost $10/month
www.birchbox.com

Beautybar: Cost $15/month
www.beautybar.com

Ipsy: Cost $10/month

Beautyarmy: Cost $12/month

Here's my new favorite nail polish of the moment. xoxo Angela

A Day of Radiant Skin

  Happy Saturday!  Man it is a scorcher out there. Today I am definitely soaking up the rays and getting my tan on by the pool.  However, for those days that I don't have the luxury to do this, I use a product that goes along with my bronzer which I posted about last week, and they are luminizers!

  Luminizers are can either be creme based, or liquid.  They can be applied all over the face, mixed with foundation, or used as a highlighter, over or under makeup.  They can also be applied to your neck, shoulders, or decollete, bring out that little sun dress and I'll be all  luminous and glowy!!

  So one of my most used luminizer is the NARS Illuminator in Copacabana.  It's a gorgeous light pink color which when applied to my face, enhances my complexion and creates this shimmering  glow to my skin.
  
  Well there you have it.  The down low, or low down on luminizers, the edited version lol.  OH, in case you were interested, I posted a link down below of Sephoras Favorite Luminizers just to get an idea.

Okay it's off to the pool now : ) Until next time, have a radiant day!

I Love Summertime!

Wow I can't believe it's already summertime! I can actually say that my winter coats will not be coming out of the closet for at least a couple months! lol and of course now that summer is here, I've brought out my summer essentials, I've needed to do a little update on my makeup routine. I usually don't wear foundation, just my BB Cream from Garnier which I blogged about, amazing. However, I like to make my skin glowy, bronzed, or sun-kissed. To get that look my favorites are Nars Laguna Bronzer,or Benefit Hoola. Add some highlight color like NARS Highlighting Blush in Albatross on your cheekbones and you're good to go! So speaking of the summer and getting that "sun-kissed" look, tomorrow it's off pool for some real sun! Now while I love the sun and getting my tan on, I always make sure to wear sunscreen, especially on my face and lips. I'm loving Jergens Natural Glow and Protect SPF 30 for Medium to Fair Skin Tones Until next time, have fun in the sun!!

Memorial Day!

  Wow today was a really long day for some reason.  As I sit here and think about what the heck happened, my mind goes BLANK!  So I found myself online, on youtube, makeup sites (Sephora thank you!), well you get the point.
Speaking of the internet, my new favorite site is Pinterest.  I could literally be online looking at boards for hours.  That's why I stay up when the kids are asleep surfing the net.  No seriously, if you've never been to the Pinterest website, you should check it out.  You can search for anything and follow different people and their sites, and well you get the idea.
  Before I go get me some beauty sleep, I have a nighttime (or early morning for those nights I don't go to bed until like 4am ha ha), I use Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial by Korres.  This stuff is amazing.  I was hooked on the fact that I could wake up with petal-soft skin by morning.  It contains 95% natural contents and is great on all skin types.  I've been using it for about a month now, and their disclaimer is that in 14 days you'll see skin that's brighter, more even-toned, and exceptionally radiant.  Well I can contest to that one hundred percent Finally, if I can't get my beauty sleep every night, at least I can get it from a jar!
        
Until next time,

Lets Get Our Makeup On!

Wow another week almost over, and another month over too!  Soon school will be out for the summer and I have no clue what we are going to do.  What do you guys have planned for the summer?
  So this week I took Samantha on a little cosmetics spree.  We went to Sephora, Sally's Beauty Supply, and the Cosmetics Company Store (at the Williamsburg Prime Outlet Mall).  This little adventure for me was like being a kid in a candy store, literally lol.  Samantha loved trying on lipsticks and eyeshadow (thank you Sephora) all the while this gave me a chance to get some beauty insight and inspiration, and what the hottest beauty trends are.
  You know, I must have looked so goofy walking around these makeup stores with little Sam in tow, and a notebook in hand, jotting down makeup products and prices, trying on products, but hey, that's what these open makeup counters are there for.  You gotta try before you buy right? LOL  I did buy a few products which I will try out and mention in another post. So stay tuned for that.
Well on that note, I need to clean some makeup brushes and finish watching the Rachel Zoe Project, love that show!
Until next time,
Get my favorite Sigma brushes here!
